The library may offer subscription databases for searching
that specialize in a particular subject area, or that cover a certain
set of resources. The library may restrict the use of an e-source so
that it can be accessed only from certain locations, only by registered
patrons, or only by certain types of patrons. A message informs you if
the e-source is restricted. You can search one e-source
at a time.

1. Click E-Sources on the Search
menu.

The e-sources page displays the available database categories
and targets, as established by the library. A category is a group of
related databases. A target is a specific database.

2. Select any
category to display the subcategories and target e-sources in the category.
(You can also select a target directly. See step 4.)

Note:Click the plus sign to see more information about a target or
category.

3. To navigate
among categories and subcategories, click the navigation links at the
top of the e-sources page.

4. Select an e-source
target to search.

5. If you are
asked to provide your library account number (barcode) or user name and
password, type these in the appropriate spaces and click Log
In.

The Web page for the e-source opens in a secondary
browser window.

search instructions for the e-source you selected.
